Six Credits toward a degree over the Summer.
An experience of a lifetime.
This study abroad program is based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, with excursions in Rotterdam, Haarlem and Utrecht. Dutch art, design, and culture are central to the core of the program. We'll explore the rich past of Amsterdam from the 17th century to the present. For Art, this starts with the Golden Age of Dutch painting and ends with iconic imagery that challenges conventions. Dutch design is known for use of contrast, wit, and reduction.
Experiencing Amsterdam by examining modernity's arts and humanities grounds the trip. The course will feature excursions to world-renowned museums and institutions, visits to several Dutch design firms, and encounters with engaging cultural experiences.. An overnight trip will also feature an experience in Rotterdam, a city filled with modern architecture and design. Day trips to Haarlem and Utrecht round out the experience.
